The RF Systems, Payload and Technology Division of Electrical Engineering Department is pleased to announce the ESA International Workshop on Tracking, Telemetry and Command Systems for Space Applications, TTC 2016, which will be held from the 13th to the 16th of September 2016 at ESA/ESTEC in Noordwijk, The Netherlands.

The aim of the TTC 2016 Workshop is to offer an international forum where TTC equipment designers, systems developers, added value system suppliers, operators, experts, universities, users and space agencies can openly discuss their ideas, share their experiences and formulate challenges to be met. The workshop will offer an overview of the technologies in use or in development. Hence, it will be a suitable forum for identifying trends in the requirements, architectures and technologies to be given attention during the coming years. Participants will have the opportunity to share their technical expertise and views by formal presentations, informal discussions and round tables leading to:

Explore innovative approaches and new technology trends in the area of TTC that will permit to satisfy the needs of future space programmes Identify potential areas for cross-fertilisation between the different space programmes, taking also benefit of synergies between commercial and scientific applications
